Mobile Telesystems OJSC (MBT) reported on Wednesday and it took an unwarranted beating. Tim Seymour from CNBC said sell VIP and buy MBT. One month ago, Jim Crammer was very optimistic about the stock. He had a special segment for MBT for 7 minutes. The stock has come down from a 52-week high of 104 dollars to 70.09 on Wednesday. I think this stock is poised for a major run to 85 very soon. Today it is trading at 75+ range. The TA looks very bullish now.
